chadcoins Pillar of the Community Canada 1159 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 12:51 am Roger [SPP] I maxed out my microscope to get these extra pictures here. To my amazement picture #4 with the bead to the edge of the coin shows the texture of the penny in the grove. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 01:10 am Nice pics! I think it was sliced with a knife or something similar: a fine blade. In many places you can see a thin central line of silver color with displaced, or "bulging", metal on either side. The upper and lower serifs of the E have been displaced (most notably the lower). There may be some bubbling of the plating, as well. I vote PMD.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10460 Posts	Posted 10/27/2017 01:38 am As I see it, it has to be post mint damage. It is hard to pinpoint what exactly happened here, but the plating process at the Winnipeg facility could not produce such a sharp, precise, differentially plated surface like that. I have partially plated 1-cent coins, diffusely plated 1-cent coins and even unplated 1-cent coins, and knowing a little bit about that process, I have my doubts that the electromagnetic plating process could create that.
